Presentation Transcript

  1. Organic Electroactive MaterialsLarry Dalton, University of Washington, DMR-0092380 Quantum and statistical mechanical calculations have guided the design and synthesis of novel electro-optic (EO) materials exhibiting EO activity greater than 400 pm/V. These materials permit the fabrication of a wide range of low drive voltage (low power consumption), high bandwidth devices. Conformal and flexible devices have been produced. The production of devices by soft lithography (printing) has been demonstrated as has the direct integration with silicon photonic circuitry and VLSI electronics. The accompanying figure shows the relationship of EO activity to chromophore shape. Discotic chromophores lead to inter-molecular interactions augmenting poling-induced order (shaded area). Theory has guided the development of single and multi-chromophore-containing dendrimers. EO activity ( Loading Parameter) vs. ND Region of Order Enhancement Statistical mechanical computations indicate that an oblate ellipsoidal chromophore shape (2-to-1 molecular axis ratio) leads to optimum EO activity. Research recognized by 2003 American Chemical Society Chemistry of Materials Award

  2. Organic Electroactive MaterialsLarry Dalton, University of Washington, DMR-0092380 Education: Educational activities related to this program include, in addition to the training of graduate and undergraduate students, lectures at the NSF-sponsored workshop on sensor science & technology at Alabama A&M, the NASA Space Grant REU program at UW, the Frontiers in Nanotechology Course (a core course in the Nanotechnology Ph.D. program) at UW, a tutorial at the AAAS 2004 annual meeting, REU lectures at UW in the summers of 2004 and 2005, and general education lectures at UW. Prof. Dalton worked with Norfolk State University on the planning and implementation of their new Ph.D. program on Advanced Materials Science and Engineering. (Prof. Dalton received a Quality Education for Minorities/Mathematics, Science, and Engineering Network 2005 Giants in Science Award) Knowledge & Technology Transfer: Chapters in Encyclopedia of Modern Optics and Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. Edited special issue of the Journal of Physical Chemistry. Eastman Lecture at the University of Akron. Special symposia at GE Global Research and Intel. Organized AAAS Symposium on 21st Century Photonics. Impact: Intellectual property generated by Dalton research was the basis of formation of Lumera (a publicly traded corporation, NASDAQ symbol LMRA). Research also simulated new R&D at Boeing, Intel, and Lockheed Martin and other corporations. Research led to new DARPA MORPH and CS-WDM programs and to other Federal R&D programs. Dalton co-founds the Center for Technology Entrepreneurship at UW.
